Info for Surface Sounds

After amassing over one billion global streams, one-and-a-half million global album sales with 39 international certifications, and countless sold-out headline shows spanning from London to Moscow, Kaleo wrapped a nearly non-stop three-year touring schedule in support of A/B in October 2018. Since, Julius Son has been in the studio working on the highly-anticipated follow-up, Surface Sounds, and every bit of that live experience is packed into their new album.

That combination of globe-trotting and meticulous tinkering resulted in a spectrum of sounds recorded around the world - in North America, South America and across Europe. Refreshingly free of calculation, with Julius Son allowing each tune to dictate its path while simultaneously leaning-in to his blues, folk and rock inclinations.

The variety of sounds and imagery found in lead singles I Want More and Break My Baby comes naturally, says Julius Son. "I think that's just me growing up as a musician and as a listener. I would get so bored if I had to do the same thing or have to be boxed in and told what to do," he adds of the evolution of Kaleo's sound. "Artistically, there's too many colours to just paint in black and white. So that's just my creative process. I didn't know that I could sing falsetto until I wrote All the Pretty Girls, and I didn't really whistle until I wrote Automobile."

After amassing over 4+ Billion global streams, 60+ international certifications, countless sold-out headlining shows, appearances at such noteworthy festivals as Coachella, Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo plus a direct support slot opening for Rock & Roll Hall of Famers, the Rolling Stones, GRAMMY nominated, Icelandic rockers, KALEO, has proven to be a worldwide phenomenon.

Known for their electrifying live performances alongside frontman JJ Julius Son’s towering, blues-soaked vocals, KALEO toured nonstop for 3 years in support of their debut album, A/B, which has since gone platinum and spawned the megahit “Way Down We Go.” On the heels of sophomore release, Surface Sounds, the band embarked on their Fight or Flight World Tour coming out of Covid. 2022 saw them perform 97 times in 92 different cities across 22 countries, selling over one quarter of a million tickets globally.

Having spent the better part of 18 months stuck in isolation within their home country, it was both refreshing and gratifying to be able to play live music for live people, once again.

2023 will see the boys touring Australia and New Zealand, performing at a handful of notable European festivals, and recording their highly anticipated third album.

This album contains no booklet.
